Who they are
The Nipsan live in the isolated mountains of Papua, Indonesia, in valleys that are difficult to reach. They are traditional farmers who grow sweet potatoes on steep slopes and maintain strong community ties. Although many profess the Christian faith, their isolation limits access to biblical resources in their own language and to discipleship that strengthens families in their walk of faith.
